In Malta, political agitation, massive unemployment and economic hardship followed in the wake of the First World War. On 7 June 1919 crowds gathered in Valletta to support the National Assembly that had been convened to request self-government for the Maltese Islands.

The silver foil stamp replica and the coin will be available as a set in one presentation case and will also be available separately.

This set will be available in the coming weeks. Pre-orders can be done by email on [email protected],  telephone: 2596 1740 or by mail from the Philatelic Bureau, MaltaPost plc, 305, Qormi Road, Marsa, MTP 1001.

Orders are accepted subject to availability and on a first-come, first-served basis.
